Campus and Hostel Life

1. Artist-in-Residence – Dramatisation of Hong Kong Literature

With sponsorship from the Lingnan Foundation, an Artist-in-

Residence (AIR) workshop was organised in 2000-2001. Mr YEN

Hung-ya (Hung-hung), a Taiwan poet, scriptwriter and film director,

flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong twice and stayed on campus during

6-13 November 2000 and 12 February-13 March 2001. He led

students to explore and create a unique Lingnan culture through

literature dramatisation.

An “Artist-in-Residence Drama Presentation” was held on 12 March

2001, organised as the final stage of the “Artist-in-Residence”

workshop. The programme was planned and organised by the

participants, who were responsible for everything from the choosing

of texts and script-writing to the choosing of actors and performance.

The programme included five solo plays and a group play, and the

stages of performance spread all over the campus. Hung-hung

provided advice to the students in the production process. The

performance, which attracted a good number of staff and students,

impressed the audience as well as the instructor.

2. Whole-Person Development Programme 2001

February 2001 marked the beginning of a campus-wide student

development programme to promote whole-person education.

Organised by the Student Services Centre, the “Whole-Person

Development Programme 2001” launched a variety of activities,

workshops, exhibition and talks to encourage students to educate

and develop themselves in six domains of personal development:

moral, intellectual, physical, social-emotional, cultural-aesthetics, and

professional. Incorporating the “Cultural Festival 2001”, many

innovative and original programmes were well received by the

students, such as the “Artist-in-Residence: Dramatisation of Hong

Kong Literature” workshop led by Mr YEN Hung-ya, the inter-hostel

best salad recipe contest, a humourous and inspirational speech

performance, and unplugged mini-concerts featuring the University

Choir, the “Sound Garden” and talented Lingnan musicians.

3. Lingnan University Whole-Person Party

A “Lingnan University Whole-Person Party”, held on 24 April 2001,

was organised by six student hostel associations and six departmental

societies, and supported by the Wong Hoo Chuen Charitable

Foundation Bursaries. Over 270 hostel residents and alumni attended

the dinner. Many non-resident students joined the party as well.

Emphasising the close relationship among Lingnanians, the party gave

students a chance to get together and share their campus life

experiences with the President, academic staff and wardens.

New Staffing Policy and Initiative

The University continued to develop its staffing policies and

procedures with the aim of gradually enhancing the overall quality

of the University's human resources.

The University revised its study leave scheme with a view to providing

more support to staff members engaging in research and staff

development activities. The terms and conditions of appointment

for research and research support staff as well as for staff in the

teaching fellow grade were reviewed and streamlined. The

procedures and terms of appointment for part-time academic staff

were also revised so as to better facilitate the work of academic

departments in making these appointments.

With a view to promoting initiatives in the improvement of service

quality at the University, a Staff Suggestion Scheme was launched

during the year. It aims at encouraging and rewarding staff members

who make constructive suggestions to enhance work effectiveness

and efficiency. The suggestions for improvement may be in any area

outside the scope of staff members’ assigned responsibilities.

39�� !"# $%�&'(


Consultancy and Advisory Services

Staff members are encouraged to offer consultancy and advisory

services to outside organisations. This helps to ensure that their

teaching and research remain relevant to the contemporary world,

and contributes directly to their profession and to the community.

Of the 73 applications for involvement in outside practice, 38% were

for consultancy and professional practice. Staff have been

commissioned to provide consultancy and research work for the

United Nations, Hospital Authority, Hong Kong Post, Radio Television

Hong Kong, Vocational Training Council, Toys Manufacturers'

Association, and Oxford University Press, among others.
